Greetings everyone:

The 8th leg of the Amazing Race has concluded and another team was eliminated.

If you have been watching this show, have you also thought that the team of Jeremy + Sandy have been the most uninspiring team of all-time ... they never seem to make the right decisions yet they are still there. Just like this 8th leg of the race, they easily should have been last --- but another team messed-up worse then they did ...

Eliminated team was: Laurence + Zac

Team to finish this leg of the race in first: Ernie + Cindy

Because we are now down to 5 remaining Amazing Race teams, the lists shift to chippers still in the contest (per group).

GROUP A: $1 Chip Contest:
KEITH BEARDEN = Amani + Marcus
PAUL BIGGS = Jeremy + Sandy
FRED D. = Ernie + Cindy
SMITTY = Andy + Tommy
STAN W. = Bill + Cathi

GROUP B: $1 Chip Contest:
JIM FOLLIS = Amani + Marcus
DEREK BISTRICKY = Andy + Tommy
MICHAEL LEVESQUE = Jeremy + Sandy
ERIC SWORT = Ernie + Cindy
JOHN Z. = Bill + Cathi

GROUP C: $5 Chip Contest:
CHARLIE BIANCO = Bill + Cathi
KEITH BEARDEN = Andy + Tommy
TOM HANSON = Amani + Marcus
VIRGIL FOSS = Jeremy + Sandy
DEREK BISTRICKY = Ernie + Cindy

GROUP D: $5 Chip Contest:
DENNIS G. = Andy + Tommy
RICHARD J. = Bill + Cathi
PHYLLIS = Amani + Marcus
STAN W. = Jeremy + Sandy
JOHN Z. = Ernie + Cindy

Congrats to all chippers to make it this far ... next week, someone else 'might be' eliminated.

Cheers,
Derek B. R-8169
